The spirit of imagination and connection was alive at our San Jose campus this past Sunday! We took a moment at the Card Making Station, creating heartfelt cards for loved ones. Our teens led the charge at the Toy Drive, collecting toys and gift cards for the Rebekah House.

Generosity and hope defined our Sunnyvale morning service on Sunday! We were honored to partner with the Bill Wilson Center for our annual Toy Drive. Beyond the giving, the service featured a beautiful, inclusive kids' choir and inspiring, honest sharing that sparked connections.

What a magical Sunday at our Pleasant Hill Holiday Celebration Service! ✨ From "Santa’s Workshop" to our kids' choir, the fun continued as Santa stopped by "Candy Cane Lane" for photos and a cookie & cocoa bar. Our 15+ year Toy Drive partnership with "A Better Way" was magical!

Our Sunnyvale 1 PM service was full of warmth this past Sunday! Guests were welcomed by a festive choir. Everyone stuck around after for hot chocolate and cookies! The children especially loved visiting with Santa. Our new Toy Drive partnership with Sunnyvale Community Services!

At the Holiday Celebration Service at our Dublin campus this weekend, we supported the Stockton Office of Violence through our Toy Drive and first-ever Chromebook Drive! In addition to cookies, cocoa, and a kids' choir, we wrapped up the day with an incredibly inspiring baptism.

It was a packed house at the Holiday Celebration Service at our San Leandro campus this weekend! Hundreds of toys and gift cards were donated to the Oak Center Cultural Center, Oakland Police Department, and the FESCO Family Shelter. Santa had a blast at our ugly sweater contest.

What a day! We held eight Holiday Celebration Services today all over the Bay Area, and each one was packed with holiday cheer from beginning to end. From Toy Drives to Ugly Sweater contests, it was a day of "Pure Imagination" for everyone! Big thanks to all who joined us today.

The first time he ever spoke words was as part of this ministry. That's the impact of intentional inclusion! They started small and leveraged volunteers. Result: Kids reach developmental milestones & families find faith.

How to build inclusive ministry from scratch? Start small! 💡

For Russ & Gail Ewell, it began with E-Soccer. It grew to a culture where everyone belongs. They meet the "friendship deficit" & support parents.

The goal: A church that would be missed if it disappeared. 💔

Building inclusive, outward-focused ministry requires a culture shift away from inward tradition. Russ & Gail Ewell share 15 years of innovation.
